When I was in the US Navy, whenever we tied up next to a ship from a foreign Navy, one of the things to do was to trade (cumshaw). Anything for anything, as long as it was “foreign”.
In those days the British sailors were issued a daily “tot” of rum or ration of beer, so they always had plenty of cumshaw material. We discovered that they didn’t have peanut butter, and they loved it. Whenever we were in a British port, the stores of peanut butter suffered severely!
